Four Honiton runners headed to Dartmoor to run the Haytor Heller run, weites Judy Davey.
This is a six-mile tough off-road run that starts halfway up Haytor, heads along and up Hound Tor before a nice, but rocky descent.
Then a final climb up Haytor leads to a downhill finish.
The weather was hot, but there was a welcome breeze.
Ian Stewart was the first Honiton runner in coming 16th in a fantastic time of 46.58.
Howard Bidmead and Steve Briggs had a battle with each other on the downhill finish ending in a photo finish with Briggs winning the battle by a second. He came 98th in 60.49 and Bidmead 99th in 60.50.
The final Honiton runner and the only female was Olivia Higginson who hasn’t raced since March.
She was happy to finish in 72.47 and 176th.
The winner was Jamie Parkinson in an amazingly fast time of 39.58.
There were 235 runners.
